The Farm Life Of a "Fool"

Chapter 153

Seeing that he was so straightforward and decided, Yan Chuan couldn't help but ask once again, "Second Brother, don't you want to look at it again?"

Xu Ran shook his head and said. "It's okay. It's not easy to choose if you see too much. It's better not to look at it anymore. I can live with the price, plus it's close to the small building. That's perfect. And thank you, Butler Yan."

Hearing Xu Ran's thanks, Yan Chuan hurriedly waved his hand and said. "Second Brother, please don't say so. This is what I should do. I'm glad you two like this place. I will ask the owner of the house tomorrow to deal with the contract of this house."

Xu Ran nodded and stopped saying thank you again.

After he returned, Xu Ran began to consider how he could decorate these two locations. How long it would take, where to get the extras, how much it would cost, and so on are all questions that must be answered.

Xu Ran knew he couldn't handle it on his own, so he wrote it down and broke it into three parts. He kept one for himself and gave Guoguo and Tangtang the other two to inspect on the street. In any situation, the ultimate decision must be made based on the best price and quality.

Every day, Xu Ran had been running outside. In addition, Liu Tong had sewn gloves and backpacks. In the case of the scarves, Xu ran was too preoccupied to teach him how to manufacture them, so he had not begun.

On the second day, Xu Ran met the house's owner and proceeded to Yanzhou's office to change the name of the house's title deed. In the end, the transaction was settled for a total of 272 taels. Yan Chuan has put in a lot of effort to achieve this.

That small building, by coincidence, also belonged to this person. He talked about the price with Xu Ran and bought it for 400 taels because he was here and Xu Ran wanted it as well. His one thousand taels had been spent in large part, and the price had remained the same after the discount. Xu Ran couldn't stop himself from sighing.

The only thing left to do now that they'd bought the house was to decorate it. Xu Ran was referring to the fact that they were only able to find two masters for the decorations and had to leave the rest of the work to the beggars outside the city. He would also provide them with food, so it was a win-win situation for them.

King Yan was very happy to hear that. He said that he would pay for the decoration of the house. Xu Ran accepted his offer, so he could save some money.

Xu Ran has been giving advice to his neighbors on how to decorate his house. They needed to purchase numerous tables, stoves, and, most critically, coals. The table and stove were inexpensive, but coals were difficult to come by. Xu Ran had searched practically every corner of Yanzhou and was still unable to find any coal that was free of smoke. That wouldn't work with smoke, for sure.

If he couldn't find it, Xu Ran had no choice but to roll up his sleeves and make it himself. He wasn't sure if he'd be able to pull it off. When he was younger, he learned it on his walk home from school. Because of his good memory, he observed someone else make it and memorized all of the methods and ingredients.

Xu Ran despised how little he had learnt in his prior life every time he needed to use his head. He would have forced himself to study harder if he had known about the transmigration earlier.

Honeycomb briquet was the name Xu Ran recalled. It reminded me of Honeycomb since it had circular holes in it. It was constructed with raw coal, soil lime, and other materials. In Yanzhou, there were a lot of these things.

Everyone in the mansion opened their mouths in shock when they heard that Xu Ran wanted to make coals himself.

They've even put a damper on Xuran's enthusiasm on several occasions. Xu Ran wasn't sure he'd be able to make it, but he wanted to give it a shot. It wouldn't bother me if he didn't show up. However, after being discouraged by these people, Xu Ran became even more motivated to succeed.
